Preventing Titanium Threads from Cold Welding
Preventing Titanium Threads from Cold Welding
(OP)
I am currently investigating a problem we are having with titanium threaded connections cold-welding together when screwing them together at a semi high torque which gives very high loads on the flanks.
Does anyone have a sugestion on what to use?
We feel we need a minimum of a .001" coating
Or have another method other than coating?
Thanks!

Engineering is the art of creating things you need, from things you can get.

One suggestion that I've run a cross in several articles is the addition of Baking soda to a grease, usually a Lithium based grease. The ratio is above 15:,1, grease/soda. Haven't tried it but it sounds interesting.
